13/8

Followed up recent hurdles win with a career best victory in 7-runner handicap at this C&D 5 days ago, readily. Has to be taken seriously under a penalty.

Form: 49/022-1

Ehteyat¹³

Age: 7| Weight: 9-13| J: Seamie Heffernan| T: M K Flannery| OR: 79

25/1

Latest win at Listowel in September. Third of 18 in novice hurdle (40/1) at Thurles (15.8f, heavy) 13 days ago. Fairly useful on the Flat, creditable on last Flat outing. Interesting returned to this sphere.

Sign From Above^p¹²⁰

Age: 8| Weight: 9-12| J: Ronan Whelan| T: Peter Fahey| OR: 78| D

20/1

Hurdles winner at Gowran on penultimate start and may have found race coming too soon when pulled up in handicap hurdle at Punchestown (23.1f, good to soft, 17/2) 120 days ago. Ran well when last seen on Flat and not discounted if ready roll here.

Pavilion End³³

Age: 6| Weight: 9-11| J: Declan McDonogh| T: C O'Brien| OR: 77| C

10/1

Course winner. Creditable sixth of 12 in handicap (10/1) at this course (12f) 33 days ago. Significantly up in trip. Bit more needed from unchanged mark.

Form: 24673-6

(10)

Umala¹⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 9-11| J: Donagh O'Connor| T: Robson Aguiar| OR: 81| C

40/1

Possibly needed run when fifth of 7 in handicap at this course (10.7f, 6/1) 14 days ago. Significantly up in trip. Stable in good form. Still low mileage in handicaps and market support would be notable.

Form: 31589-5

(6)

Beauparc¹⁴

Age: 6| Weight: 9-9| J: Colin Keane| T: G Keane| OR: 75| C

10/1

Course winner. Good third of 7 in handicap at this course (10.7f, 12/1) 14 days ago. Significantly up in trip. Place claims again.

Gallo Dell Cielo²⁶

Age: 6| Weight: 9-6| J: Robyn Donaghue-Leahy⁽⁷⁾| T: P J Flynn| OR: 72| CD

9/2

Won here in December and produced career best when following up in 10-runner handicap at this C&D (6/1) 26 days ago by 3 lengths from Black Gem, driven out. Can give bold bid for hat-trick from 7 lb higher mark.

Form: 20771-1

(3)

Black Gem^p1,t²⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 8-12| J: Chris Hayes| T: J C McConnell| OR: 64

11/2

40/1, back on track when 3 lengths second of 10 to Gallo Dell Cielo in handicap at this C&D 26 days ago. Respected again with cheekpieces back on.

Form: 325/00-2

(7)

Inchiquin Maid⁷⁷

Age: 7| Weight: 8-9| J: Reese Holohan⁽⁷⁾| T: T O'Brien| OR: 61| CD

20/1

Sole win from 22 Flat runs came at C&D. In decent heart over jumps in the autumn but only tenth of 14 in handicap at this course (12f, 20/1) 77 days ago. Significantly back up in trip. Others make more appeal.

Form: 31/2630-

Forecasts

Tatateo (13/8), Gallo Dell Cielo (9/2), Black Gem (11/2), Minella Mate (13/2), Beauparc (10/1), Pavilion End (10/1), Inchiquin Maid (20/1), Sign From Above (20/1), Ehteyat (25/1), Umala (40/1)

TATATEO was an impressive winner over C&D on Friday and can defy a penalty to bring up a cross-code hat-trick. Fellow hat-trick seeker Gallo Dell Cielo is most feared, whilst Black Gem (behind that rival here last time) can make the placings again.
